Ge 10:1-32.
GENEALOGIES.
1. sons of Noah--The historian has not arranged this catalogue according to seniority of birth; for the account begins with the descendants of Japheth, and the line of Ham is given before that of Shem though he is expressly said to be the youngest or younger son of Noah; and Shem was the elder brother of Japheth
(Ge 10:21),
the true rendering of that passage.
generations, &c.--the narrative of the settlement of nations existing in the time of Moses, perhaps only the principal ones; for though the list comprises the sons of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, all their descendants are not enumerated. Those descendants, with one or two exceptions, are described by names indicative of tribes and nations and ending in the Hebrew im, or the English "-ite."

5. 这些人的海岛——这是希伯来人用来形容一切可由海上到达之国的话
(Isa 11:11；20:6； Jer 25:22)。
对他们而言，欧洲诸国、小亚细亚半岛、以及攸克辛海以东的地区，便是如此。因此，雅弗早期的后裔就在这些地区定居。
英語原文
5. the isles of the Gentiles--a phrase by which the Hebrews described all countries which were accessible by sea
(Isa 11:11; 20:6; Jer 25:22).
Such in relation to them were the countries of Europe, the peninsula of Lesser Asia, and the region lying on the east of the Euxine. Accordingly, it was in these quarters the early descendants of Japheth had their settlements.

6. 含的儿子——向南迁移，他们的定居是：古实在亚拉伯，迦南在以其名而知名的国土，麦西在上下埃及。一般以为他父亲随他而去，亲自监督定居的设立，故埃及被称为“含的地”
[Ps 105:23, 27；106:22]。
英語原文
6. sons of Ham--emigrated southward, and their settlements were: Cush in Arabia, Canaan in the country known by his name, and Mizraim in Egypt, Upper and Lower. It is generally thought that his father accompanied him and personally superintended the formation of the settlement, whence Egypt was called "the land of Ham"
[Ps 105:23, 27; 106:22].

8. 宁录——他被提及因他胜过他全家的一切名声。他早年以猎野兽的胆大成功的技艺著称。借着这些有用的服务，他赢得了公众感恩的称号；并在人民中确立了永久的优势之后，他建立了世上第一个王国
[Ge 10:10]。
英語原文
8. Nimrod--mentioned as eclipsing all his family in renown. He early distinguished himself by his daring and successful prowess in hunting wild beasts. By those useful services he earned a title to public gratitude; and, having established a permanent ascendancy over the people, he founded the first kingdom in the world
[Ge 10:10].

10. 他国度的起头——这国度当然虽在当时被认为大，范围却是比较有限的；那些城不过是些小的堡垒。
英語原文
10. the beginning of his kingdom--This kingdom, of course, though then considered great, would be comparatively limited in extent, and the towns but small forts.

11. 他从那地出来往亚述去——或如旁注所言：“他[宁录]率领军队进入亚述”，即他把征服推进到那国。
建造尼尼微——在底格里斯河上，与摩苏尔城相对，以及附近其他诸城。这次侵入亚述，是对闪之领土的侵犯；因此“宁录”这意为“叛党”的名字，被认为是因他大胆反叛神的分派而赐给他的。
英語原文
11. Out of that land went forth Asshur--or, as the Margin has it, "He [Nimrod] at the head of his army went forth into Assyria," that is, he pushed his conquests into that country.
and builded Nineveh--opposite the town of Mosul, on the Tigris, and the other towns near it. This raid into Assyria was an invasion of the territories of Shem, and hence the name "Nimrod," signifying "rebel," is supposed to have been conferred on him from his daring revolt against the divine distribution.

25. 法勒，因为那时人就分地——洪水之后
(Ge 11:10-16)，
挪亚的后裔随意定居，享受未分之地的出产。但按照神的指示——这指示大概是借着似乎因敬虔或先知性格而著称的希伯传达的——地被分了，他儿子的名字"法勒"便是为记念这事而起（参
申 32:8； 徒 17:26）。
英語原文
25. Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided--After the flood
(Ge 11:10-16)
the descendants of Noah settled at pleasure and enjoyed the produce of the undivided soil. But according to divine instruction, made probably through Eber, who seems to have been distinguished for piety or a prophetic character, the earth was divided and his son's name, "Peleg," was given in memory of that event (see
De 32:8; Ac 17:26).

32. 这些都是挪亚三个儿子的宗族，各随他们的支派立国，等等——这一分配是极有秩序的；受默示的历史家显然暗示：挪亚的众子是照着他们的民族排列，每个民族又按其家族分等次，使每个民族都有指定的疆域，每个民族中的支派，每个支派中的家族，都各有居所。
英語原文
32. These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations, &c.--This division was made in the most orderly manner; and the inspired historian evidently intimates that the sons of Noah were ranged according to their nations, and every nation ranked by its families, so that every nation had its assigned territory, and in every nation the tribes, and in every tribe the families, were located by themselves.

家谱。
1. 挪亚的儿子——史家并没有按照出生长幼来安排这份名录；因为叙述始于雅弗的后裔，而含的谱系又列在闪的之前，虽然闪明明被称为挪亚最小的儿子（或较小的儿子）；而闪是雅弗的哥哥
(Ge 10:21)，
这才是那处经文的正确译法。
后代，等——即摩西时代列国定居的叙述，也许只列了主要的几国；因为虽然名录包括了闪、含、雅弗的儿子，但并非他们所有的后裔都被一一列出。这些后裔，除了一两个例外，都是用指明部族和国家的名字来描述的，并以希伯来文 im或英文"-ite"结尾。
